Hi Pascal,Thank you for contacting Syncfusion support.On further analyzing with the given Word document, we found that you have used formula field for adding the cell values. Currently DocIO doesn’t support formula field manipulations with in table (LEFT and RIGHT, SUM, AVG, ABOVE and BELOW, PRODUCT calculations, etc., inside the table). We have already logged this as a feature request in our database and we don’t have any immediate plans to implement this feature. At the planning stage for every release cycle, we review all open features. We will let you know when this feature is implemented.

Hi Pascal,Thank you for your update.As mentioned earlier, currently DocIO doesn’t support for adding the cell values(in a table) together in a formula field(formula with aggregations function  and without aggregations).
